“Now Sarfaraz Khan and Indrajith baba into the test scheme of things . Can’t ignore such brilliant performers and performances.They’ve just been phenomenal! TALENT APLENTY.”

Sarfaraz had a back-to-back blockbuster Ranji Trophy season. He ended this season as the top-scorer in the competition with 982 runs at an average of 122.75, including four centuries and two half-centuries. He continued his purple patch in Duleep Trophy, where he scored a match-winning 127 not out for the West Zone. Another hundred came in the Irani Cup 2022, where he scored 138.

On the other hand, Indrajith, 28, too racking up the runs season after season. In the 2020-21 season, Indrajith scored 396 runs in three matches, including three centuries. He smashed 325 runs in Vijay Hazare Trophy, including four half-centuries. Tamil Nadu, unfortunately, lost in the final against Himachal Pradesh, but Indrajith has made his statement.
